Really nice job on the paint!

Get you about the trainers @LozzI96 For years I have worn Adidas Sambas but after being on my feet for 2 hours plus at Bonfest, I have invested in a pair of Nike Air as my feet were killing me. This getting old lark is not what it`s cracked up to be!

Thanks Phil. Yes I can set the subs crossover to match the DBRs. I will set them to 120.

Well after posting about changing my pa set up, here is where I`m at. I own a set of Yam DBR 12`s which I think we have used twice. I recently bought a set of DBR 10`s and a s/hand EV ELX 200 12" sub. I have only used this set up in the flat at low volume but on Saturday we are playing in MacSorley`s in Glasgow centre a pub well know for bands so I will see what happens. The DBR has a 100 HZ and a 120 HZ setting on the back, what would be the best setting? The good thing about the sub is it has an app to adjust, saves me bending down too far!

You can buy a decent speaker cable for £15 or so, I wouldn`t be faffing about with a mains cable. Better off with the right thing?

Good point and that is why I own the pa and own and run the Facebook page. But that drummer is a tube, he deserves to be named and shamed. Agree with trying to ask the singer if she is happy doing extended blues tune, I can`t think of anything worse to be honest. Hope you get it sorted.

A few months back I bought a 60th aniv Mexican road worn Jazz form Bass Bros. Usually I buy a Jazz, keep it for a few weeks, sell on losing a few bob and repeat this at regular intervals. But this bass has got under my skin and I don`t know why. The "wear" on the top edge of the body looks like it was done with a sander and I`m not very keen on the concentric vol and tone set up but there is just something about it I love. Must be getting mellow in my old age.

I usually enjoy the gigs but it`s all the associated guff that surrounds many bands that folk decide that it isn`t worth the payback of gigging. If it wasn`t for the fact that 2 out of the 4 I play alongside I really care for, I could happily knock it on the head.

That`s high praise indeed Dave having had a play through your man cave amp and cab setup which was rather loud I take it the only way in the Beat Gen is up those bloomin stairs? Good job the new cab is an easy lift. Have fun!

Got one of those basses and out the box they are fantastic especially for the price. I didn`t have to adjust anything, it was spot on and the neck is super comfy. I would say it`s the same sort of size as a Fender Player P but for almost half the price!

The Who. A pair of tw*ts!

Update. Got a kit from Amazon for £7 and used the 6.5mm plug cutter and it did the job fine so thanks for all the suggestions.

@Aidan63 I have bought a set of these and they look like they will do the job. Fingers crossed!

Don`t know as it`s in pretty tight. When I was putting the screws in they were a tighter fit than the ones that came out of the original bridge. Ever wish you should just have left the original one on?

I recently bought a badass bridge and whilst fitting it to my Jazz the top of the screw sheared off. It was fault, I maybe tightened it too much whilst fitting. I have looked at various YT vids but has anyone got any experience of removing said screw? It has broken flush with the body so I can`t get a grip. I`m guessing it will need to be plugged after removing but any advice is appreciated.

I still listen to You`re Nicked on YT, brilliant tune and cool video that wasn`t taken down despite you guys reckoning it would be pulled

You can buy it from Thomann brand new delivered for £130 but I have seen other places where they are £180+.

We are playing the Town Hall in Kirriemuir on Saturday, the third and final band on that days events. We have played twice before with the guys doing the sound and know them but it`s the guitarist`s who have no concept of volume who will get it in the ear. And I don`t think there is any chance of clearing the venue for a soundcheck.

I see the Jazz G&L is available again. It`s in great condition as well and weighs in at 9.4 which is good for these.

Your lucky Neep, I was in there last week and spotted it hanging on the wall and if it had been a colour I fancied it was going home with me They also had a mint G&L Jazz in sunburst but I had one at one point and it was a heavy bugger. So unusual for a shop to have 1 G&L never mind 2.

I play in an acdc tribute band with a girl singer. There used to be a few girls doing it but not so much now. This works for us sometimes but you get some Dicks saying that they would never go see a girl singing the songs but the thing is we can do Bon Scott and Brian Johnston material in the original key whereas most tributes stick to Bon as they can`t hit Brian`s notes. I started doing dc tributes in 2012 but now there seems to be loads of them and some of them are crap, they seem to think that as long as you own an SG and a school uniform they are sorted. The key is the drummer and rhythm guitarist who have to be on it and luckily we have that, if you ain`t got them you are buggered. We would like to take it up a notch but the singer has 3 kids under 10 and a full time job so we just do whatever takes our fancy.

Fugazi has always been one of my favourites. Seen them a couple of times in the Fish era, one time a new years eve gig in the Barrowlands when Fish started singing Script form the middle of the crowd! The remastered version of Script from a couple of years back is so much better than the original pressings, really brings out the drums and bass.

The original Mexican basses were great but the one I had weighed as much as a small planet so had to go.

My lot (acdc trib) are playing the Town Hall stage at Bonfest up in Kirriemuir first Saturday in May then after that 3 pub gigs till the end of August so not a lot really.
